Whether a Working Draft eventually becomes a WG Note or proceeds down the REC
track is a decision of the Working Group. We should define a process for the WG
to do so. A likely outline would be:

- Starts with a bug report. If no one objects to the proposed change, then the
matter can be resolved without taking it to the full WG.
- If anyone objects, then we will ask proponents of both REC-track and
Note-track to provide rationale.
- We will likely use a more lightweight approach, such as a survey similar to
the one used for Last Call, rather than the full Decision Policy, since this is
a process question, not a technical question.
